Simon Cowell pulled out of filming
Britain’s Got Talent yesterday in London and rushed to board a private jet to New York for
the Valentine’s Day arrival of his baby with fiancee
Lauren Silverman. He had reached Lenox Hill Hospital when she delivered a healthy
boy at 5:45 p.m.

The New York socialite also has a 7-year-old son,
Adam, with real-estate mogul
Andrew Silverman, whom she divorced in August while involved with Cowell.

According to MailOnline, Cowell said earlier this week: “I am keeping my phone on during
auditions 100 percent. If it happens, I have to go and dash on a plane. I probably will be nervous
when it all happens. I am going to watch
Father of the Bride tonight to get used to that. I have got a feeling my child is going to
be really naughty.”

He added: “I haven’t changed a nappy before, and I won’t. I just can’t do it. I’d like to be at
the birth but a little bit far away.”

Silverman, 37, went into labor early yesterday, two weeks before her due date.
